OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

EAR-RING PROTECTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 711,269, dated October 14, 1902.

Application filed March 1,1902.

of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ear-Ring Protectors, of which the following is a full and complete specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved ear-ring with an attachment which will hold the ring in proper position when in use and also prevent the loss thereof; and the invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view of an ear-ring provided with my improvement, and Fig. 2 a plan view thereof.

In the practice of my invention I provide 2 5 an ear-ring comprising a wire bent to form a loop A, a downwardly-directed back member A, and a downwardly and backwardly curved front member A with which is con nected an ornament D, which may consist of any desired object or device, such as a diamond, a rose, or other article of this class. The front and downwardly-directed member A is provided at its lower end with a hook A,

which is to engage the lower end of the part 3 5 A as shown in the drawings, and connected with the back member A is a slide B, consisting of a sleeve or ring through one side of which is passed a set-screw 0, provided with Serial No. 96,278- (No model.)

a knob or head (3 and by means of which the slide B may be adjusted to any desired point on the back part A of the ear-ring and se-.

that the ring could not move forwardly through the lobe portion of the car, even if the hook A should be disconnected from the lower end of the back portion A as long as said slide is in position, and the screw C, which passes through one side of the slide, bears on the back portion A of the ear-ring and forms a lock which will hold said slide in place.

Having fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. An ear-ring comprising a Wire bent to form a loop and front and back portions, the front portion being detachably connected with the back portion at the lower end thereof, and a slide mounted on said back portion and provided with a set-screw which passes through one side thereof, substantially as shown and described.

2. An ear-ring comprising a front and back portion integrally connected at the top and adapted to be detachably connected at the bottom, and a slide mounted on said back portion and provided with a setscrew which passes through one side thereof, substantially as shown and described.
